You need to add the word "nameserver" infront of the listing for your DNS
Servere in the /etc/resolv.conf for the DNS lookup to work properly.  In the
etc/hosts file, you need to change the line that has hosts to
hosts: files dns
You also need to add the file defaultrouter to the /etc/ directory and just
put in the gateway's IP address.
to check on the fly if you can reach your gateway, type in the following:

# route add default my.gateway.ip.address

This will do a 1 time gateway addition so that you can test out the setting.
If the route add default ... line does not work, then probably either your
subnet mask is improperly set up or your NIC is not setup / working
properly.
